What "bubbles," what "colors"—since he couldn't make sense of the deeper mechanisms behind these strange, abnormal phenomena, Yuan Wuwei didn't make wild guesses, lest the answer eventually be revealed and make him look like an idiot. Besides, no matter how spectacular Madam Harold and Tian Bang's "Extraordinary Battle" was, it wasn't his preferred field. He would rather study the Artificial Time-Space structure of the Thunder Pool Experiment Field.
Taking his eyes off the lively scene, Yuan Wuwei once again looked at the bigger picture, observing how the layered "Time-Space Bubbles" in the Game Interface echoed the real "Grape Bunch" scenery within the Thunder Pool Experiment Field from afar, displaying the diverse forms of the Great Golden Triangle in crowded profusion.
After watching for a while, he gained some insights.
Yuan Wuwei discovered that the number of "Time-Space Bubbles" on the "Grape Bunch" was constantly changing.
He could even confirm that every so often, several "Time-Space Bubbles" broke away from the main structure of the "Grape Bunch," seemingly heading toward the smog-shrouded region by the riverbank—the dangerous zone Madam Harold had specifically warned him not to touch.
Then... they never returned, without even an echo.
Yuan Wuwei bared his teeth.
Sure enough, "Fairy Tale Princess"-style curiosity was absolutely unacceptable. Fortunately, he had a rational mind; otherwise, he might have been among those who "never returned."
Of course, if wave after wave simply "never returned," then no matter how lush the "Grape Bunch" was, the "Time-Space Bubbles" hanging from it could not withstand many rounds of depletion.
In reality, the "Grape Bunch" would sometimes become sparse, but before long, it would grow lush again; then sparse again, then lush again...
And so the cycle continued.
The reason was simple enough. In contrast to those that "never returned," the "Grape Bunch" also received
